Which lake are ya headed to today...??????

NO, NO, NO ..... ABSOLUTELY NO !!!!!

WD-40 isn't, wasn't, and never has been vegetable based ... nor has it EVER contained fish oil.

It's a petroleum based product of oil & solvents.

Even the WD-40 Company put out a disclaimer that the product was not recommended for use as a fish attractant. Check out this Snopes report, and notice that #39 Fish attractant was removed by the manufacturer as not a recommended use. The link also disclaims the "fish oil" idea, by showing the MSDS listed ingredients. snopes.com: Uses for WD-40 Spray Lubricant

PLEASE do not continue to contribute to the misinformation about WD-40 !! There is absolutely nothing in its contents that will attract fish.

Im talkin 35 to 40 yrs ago. Not sure now. WD-40 for Fishing Attractant?

What about the use of apple pie Pappy? :) The article came from facebook so what can we expect. Pappy is WD40 harmful to the environment?

I've handled my baits with gas & oil residue, suntan lotion, bug spray, tobacco residue, and who knows what else on my hands ... and the fish still bit it. Whether or not more of them would have bit, if I didn't have any of those "scents" on my hands ... isn't possible to know. That said ... I don't think apple pie is going to deter a hungry Slab from grabbing a bait :Rofl

WD-40 is harmful to the environment, according to the EPA ... but, that's only because of the release of CO2 gas from the can (which is what WD-40 uses as an aerosol in the spray cans). Other than that ... all the other chemicals are considered biodegradable. It's something akin to a light oil & mineral spirits combination ... so it's probably not something we'd want being used in/around our waters. :twocents

I have used WD40 for catfish. It works.

We tried Nolin for about 2 hours today, was all the time we had. Water temps 68-69. Caught a few undersized that went back in. Bite was super slow for us.

20 mph winds and Kayaks just don't get along... got skunked today..!!! :P

we went to Taylorsville Lake, not many boats on the lake, water temp 70, high winds, wife caught a small bluegill. Still a good day out

I think Terry dunks his minners and jigs in the fruit jar before dropping them in the water ...

:yikes
